Considering new HU

chopin_guy88 · 09-23-2015, 03:19 PM

So what experience do people have running speakers off aftermarket head unit power??

I also started a thread over at DIYMobileAudio, and have been getting feedback that changing to components on even aftermarket head unit power -- I will be loosing volume and bass response.

This is to suggest that quality component sets really need an amp as well.

Any experience as it relates specifically to our vehicles??

I'm bummed that the suggestion is -- even with using the 4100NEX headunit -- that if I'm not using an external amp, that using aftermarket component sets will yield lower volume and less bass than the factory speakers.

Does anyone have any direct feedback from usage in our Z's on this??

Suggestion is to keep stock speakers and run them with the 4100NEX...
